This study is called the COVID-19 Lung Microvascular and Parenchymal Sequelae (LUNG MaPS) Study. The purpose of the study is to learn about the effects of COVID-19 infections on the lungs and heart, and to improve our understanding of why some COVID-19 patients…
The purpose of this study is to identify genetic causes of lung diseases and to develop a research repository so that we can better understand, prevent and treat these conditions. You have been asked to join this study as a healthy control. Even though you do not have lung disease, your sample is…

The purpose of this study is to assess how effective the study drug Pulmaquin is in the management of chronic lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in subjects with non cystic fibrosis (nonCF) bronchiectasis by evaluating the time to first pulmonary exacerbation. A pulmonary exacerbation is defined as the new appearance…
The use of electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigs or vaping, has increased among former smokers and young adults who have never smoked. Relatively little is known, however, about their health effects (whether they are adverse, have no effect, or are beneficial). The purpose of this research study is to evaluate (1) the association of e-cig use with…
Are you a current or former smoker? Do you want to know more about your lung health? The FAR-ILD study is designed to detect and study the earliest stages of ILD in at-risk adults, including older smokers. FAR-ILD is a non-interventional study. This means that FAR-ILD is not involved in testing any new interventions or…
The FAR-ILD study is designed to detect and study the earliest stages of ILD in adults with a family history of ILD. FAR-ILD is a non-interventional study. This means that FAR-ILD is not involved in testing any new interventions or therapies. The purpose of FAR-ILD is to gather data on family members of patients with pulmonary fibrosis over a long period of…
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug altaluren can help lung function and can reduce the symptoms associated with cystic fibrosis (CF), and decrease the number of hospitalizations and the use of antibiotics for CF-related lung infections. The study will also investigate…
This study is for patients who have been prescribed tobramycin inhalation powder (TOBI Podhaler) or another inhaled medication used to treat cystic fibrosis patients whose lungs contain bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of this research study is to assess how well TOBI Podhaler works on treating Pseudomonas…
The purpose of the ELEVATE CF study is to evaluate an oral investigational medication called VX-440 tosee if it is safe, effective, and well-tolerated when taken alone or with two other oral medications(VX-661 tezacaftor and ivacaftor) in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). This triple combination(TC) is being tested to see if it improves chloride transport (…
Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other single right ventricle lesions who have undergone the Fontan procedure have a high risk of neurodevelopmental disorders that affect quality of life and adulthood employment. This study will leverage the ongoing National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-funded…
This research study is being conducted to study pulmonary hypertension and right heart dysfunction based on clinical, imaging, physiological and pathological characteristics. We hope to develop a new classification system and new methods to diagnose and treat pulmonary hypertension. Diagnostic testing includes (listed subsequently): full medical work-up,…
This study is being done to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of VX-440 used in combination with tezacaftor and ivacaftor in patients with cystic fibrosis. VX-440 given in combination with tezacaftor and ivacaftor is an investigational drug; investigational means the drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is still…
The main purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of study drug CTX-4430 when compared to a placebo (sugar pill) taken once-daily for 48 Weeks in adult patients with CysticFibrosis (CF).
This study is being done to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of study drug VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor in patients aged 12 years and older with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). In this Study there are two treatment groups. If the patient meets all the rules for being in the Study, they willbe in one of the two treatment groups. The patient will…
